Given we're envisioning a move from batch to dynamic metadata: Doesn't
dynamic imply that say an MDQ server (or similar) needs to index on
multiple properties of the metadata, and then be able to answer queries
accordingly?

I don't recall off-hand, but does the MDQ protocol spec really account
for this use case?  I remember it having a general notion of identifiers
in the query, but is it sufficiently flexible right now to support this,
e.g. query by endpoint (or a an endpoint-matching regex) and so on?

Otherwise I see Marvin's CAS stuff as well as SAML artifact, etc only
being supportable when the entity is in a metadata batch.
